Southampton Archaeology Society Southampton Archaeology Society October 2017 Newsletter Dear Members The last three months have been busy for Southampton Archaeology Society, following the final lecture of our 2016/17 programme in April, when Matt Garner told us about the three-year excavation project at Quarr Abbey, Isle of Wight. At the AGM in May members agreed on a small rise in subscriptions from May 2018, and we also enjoyed a lively presentation from leaders of Southampton Young Archaeologists’ Club about their work and adventures with young people. This summer promises lots of activity, with the CBA Festival of Archaeology starting on 15th July, and some local events are featured in later pages. There are two current exhibitions in Southampton on the subject of castles: Southampton Castle at Tudor House Museum and Garden; and at Southampton Art Gallery is a major art show Capture the Castle with both earlier romantic and modern interpretations of the theme - not to be missed. Southampton and Winchester are both celebrating their connections with Jane Austen for the 200th anniversary of her death, on 17th July 1817 in Winchester. Jane briefly attended school in Southampton and lived in the city between 1806 and 1809: there will be walks, talks, concerts, a literary weekend and even a Ball, continuing until October! Sarah Matt Garner’s leaving “do” Soon after our last newsletter went to press, Matt Garner announced he would be leaving Southampton City Council Archaeological Unit, after 30 years’ service. Matt’s leaving party was held at the Platform Tavern Southampton (so named after the former C18th gun platform on which it was built). The event was attended by colleagues from the Unit past and present, friends from Southampton University, Southampton Young Archaeologist’s Club, members of SAS and many others. The cakes (pictured left) are copies of a steata ‘peacock’ coin from Saxon Hamwic, showing the stylised bird on the obverse and a king’s head on the reverse. Made by Matt’s partner Zana, one in lemon and the other in chocolate, they were delicious! Here’s a picture of Matt cutting the cakes. Matt is now trying to enjoy a well-earned rest, but his peace is constantly interrupted by requests for help with projects such as helping to organise and speaking at meetings and conferences; recording graffiti and helping his mother when she came out of hospital. So not so much progress with moving home and planning the next phase of his life, and we all wish Matt well for the future! Excavation at God’s House Tower, Southampton June 2017 God’s House Tower forms the southeast corner of Southampton’s medieval town walls, and it formerly housed the Archaeology Museum, which closed in 2011 ahead of SeaCity Museum opening in 2012. Further archaeological work will take place when the building is remodelled as an exhibition and performance venue. Southampton Archaeology Unit was commissioned by Aspace Arts to investigate the archaeology of God’s House Tower. To the south it is linked to God’s House Gate, to the north to the Town Wall. The early 14th century Town Wall was investigated down to 1.8m below ground level. It could be seen that the Town Wall had been partly dismantled and rebuilt when God’s House Tower was constructed in the late 14th/early 15th century. A trench dug along the north wall of God’s House Tower revealed the toilet block constructed in the late 18th century to serve the Southampton Gaol (see figure left). The plans for the gaol survive showing that one toilet was for debtors, and the second was for felons. Site plan showing position of trenches. Southampton Archaeology Unit, 2017.

Trench 4 examined the northeast corner of the Tower itself, built of large blocks of white limestone and green sandstone. The lower part of the wall, long buried, featured a chamfered course, with above it a drip moulding, demonstrating that originally the lower part of the tower was on view. The internal trench revealed that prior to the building of God’s House Tower there had been an earlier stone structure on the site. It was probably a tower with its battered foundation in the ditch, attached to the Town Wall to the west. This was presumably provided to help defend the adjacent God’s House Gate which occupies the southeast corner of the rectangular walled town.

In addition the presence of a new roundabout at the Dodwell Lane / Pylands Lane / bypass junction will assist in slowing speeds on Dodwell Lane / Bursledon Road (Sunday’s Hill). This alone will provide a significant benefit to pedestrians and cyclists along this route. 2.2 There is a footway on at least one side of the road along this section of Dodwell Lane / Bursledon Road. The reduced traffic volumes and speeds will make on-street cycling along this section of road acceptable. 2.3 Notwithstanding this it is considered that there is the scope for further improvements to pedestrian and cycle provision along this section of Dodwell Lane / Bursledon Road.

" - ; THE HAMPSHIRE ANTIQUARY AND NATURALIST: BEING THE LOCAL NOTES AND QUERIES, REPORTS OF MEETINGS OF THE HAMPSHIRE FIELD CLUB, & OTHER ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND NATURAL HISTORY MATTERS REPRINTED FROM "THE HAMPSHIRE INDEPENDENT." VOLUME I, SOUTHAMPTON : F. A. EDWARDS, Hampshire Independent OFFICE. LONDON : ELLIOT STOCK, 62, PATERNOSTER Row, E.G. 1891. PRINTED BY F. A. EDWARDS, Hampshire Independent OFFICE, SOUTHAMPTON. PREFACE. In response to a frequently expressed desire that the Local Notes and Queries and other articles on Hampshire antiquities appearing in The Hampshire Independent should be reprinted in a more convenient form for permanent reference than is afforded by the columns of a weekly newspaper, which too few think worthy of preservation, this little book has been prepared as an instalment, to be followed by others if warranted by sufficient support being enlisted. It has often too been suggested that there should be some permanent record of the meetings of the Hampshire Field Club. This Club is doing much by its periodical visits to various parts of the county to make known many interesting features in out of the way corners, and to elicit an interest in local antiquities, which has already borne fruit in increased study and better preservation. The only full and regularly published reports of these meetings are those of The Hampshire Independent, and the republication of these will doubtless be welcomed by many besides members of the Club. Some perhaps may also value the republication of the weekly weather tables of the Ordnance Survey Office, Southampton, and the monthly weather reports contributed by Mr.

  • Journal of the Southampton Local History Forum
    A D Morton The French Raid on Southampton 1338, Part One Historians of the French Raid stress Southampton’s fatal vulnerability on its waterside, the stealth of its attackers, the panic-stricken flight of its inhabitants, the ferocity of the English counter-attack, and a lesson finally learned that the town had to be wholly walled in. We must take none of that for granted; repetition only broadens the myth. Stories have continued to be told, for no good reason except that older historians told them, at a time when few sources were easily available. In consequence, as other and more significant texts have later been edited and published, the tendency has been to read them in the context of an already established story, sometimes to ignore them. Dating and Timing For instance, the customary dating of the raid largely derives from two sources available to the Victorians, Froissart’s Chroniques and Stow’s Annals. Froissart says that it began on a Sunday, in the morning, when the townspeople were at mass, and Stow provides the actual date and time, October 4, around nine of the clock. The two sources complement each other, for October 4 1338 was a Sunday in the Julian calendar. Nonetheless, they are wrong: the raiders landed on the Monday at mid-afternoon. A difference of only 30 hours seems not worth the arguing about, except that it carries large consequences for our understanding of what really happened. The earliest sources―an inquisition into the loss of the king’s wool,1 six months after the event―a royal council,2 eight months after the event―and Murimuth,3 the first of the chroniclers to write about the raid (d 1347)―all date the beginning of the raid to the Monday after Michaelmas, which was October 5 in 1338, again in the Julian calendar.

  • Collections Development Policy 2014 – 2017
    Southampton City Council Arts and Heritage Collections Development Policy 2014 – 2017 Plan approved on: Review date: November 2017 SOUTHAMPTON CITY COUNCIL’S ARTS AND HERITAGE COLLECTIONS DEVELOPMENT POLICY 2014 – 2017 DRAFT 1. Introduction The Arts & Heritage collections we hold include objects, documents, photographs and art works are the ‘archive of memories and history’ in which our city’s identity as gateway to the world over the last 2000 years is recorded. The Fine Art collection is recognised as one of the finest collections outside of London. They are the sources of artistic inspiration that have changed local people’s view of the world. They are jam-packed full of fascinating and diverse stories waiting to be explored through exhibitions, online resources, tours, workshops, study visits and publications. These collections form a dynamic resource which has been built up through the vision and stewardship of our city forefathers. Over the last 100 years, they have been an important focus of civic pride and an invaluable and inspirational resource for local people and visitors to the city. As guardians on behalf of local citizens and future generations, we aim to continue that focus, and to maintain and develop the collections in a way that continues to maximise their access and enjoyment by a wide audience. This document outlines how Southampton City Council intends to develop the Arts and Heritage collections over the next 5 years, and should be read in conjunction with the Arts and Heritage Forward Plan 2013 – 2016. It forms part of a raft of other collections plans and procedures which have been developed to meet the appropriate standards of the museum and archives profession, including Accreditation.
